West Ham fans had another miserable afternoon as they saw their side well beaten by Chelsea at Upton Park , the 3-0 defeat had manager Sam Allardyce commenting after the match "If you make the sort of mistakes that we made against a team like Chelsea, then we can only expect to lose. We made too many big mistakes and gifted them the first goal . "

The result leaves the Hammers in 17th place and only 3 pts off the bottom of the table .

Fulham lost again and had some fans calling for Martin Jol to go , a 2-1 defeat by Swansea at Craven Cottage meant an 8th defeat in 12 league games and unless things start to improve soon it could be a miserable christmas for Martin Jol ..he said after the game ..."If you don't score, you can't win games. They had players missing and we had the chance to beat them. You have to take the opportunities in this league and we didn't."

Fulham have some real fire power up front, when the lazy tykes can be bothered to put in a full shift. West Ham have a problem with scoring, one shot on target last game. Both teams struggling to get a win, I'm taking the obvious option 1-1.

I thought Mo Diame played well and deserves to keep his place in the team.
Stuart Downing also put in a good shift and was unlucky not to score but I'm sure it will come soon.

It was good that Maiga started and that we played with a striker even if he didn't do that well
as it gave our side a focal point and the opposition defenders something to worry about even if it was only Fulham

Kevin Nolan had another very poor match and was brought off early again and should now be dropped.

Who would have thought that we would ever see Carlton Cole back at the club and scoring but he does look a bit over weight.

We next play away at Crystal Palace on Tuesday night and i see no reason why we couldn't take all 3 points there.
